J. Hutton Pulitzer Uses Ancient Astronaut and Atlantean Claims to Defend "Roman" Voyages to Oak Island

1/31/2016

41 Comments

 
I had been hearing rumors for several months now that conspiracy theorist and geologist Scott F. Wolter had joined the Freemasons, an organization he previously accused of conspiring to suppress the truth about history and manipulate world governments. But now it seems to be official, with Wolter’s elevation to the rank of Master Mason reported in the January-February edition of the Minnesota Mason. According to that publication, Scott F. Wolter is a member of the Wayzata Lodge (no. 205) and joined the order sometime in 2015. Wayzata is in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area and is close to Wolter’s home. Since Masons are supposed to keep their mouths shut about Masonry’s secrets, this will either force Wolter to curtail his conspiracy theories or open himself to charges of hypocrisy for making insinuations about secrets he shouldn’t be discussing.
Meanwhile, I couldn’t resist sharing this headline the gaffe-prone former Treasure Force Commander J. Hutton Pulitzer, who now calls himself the “History Heretic,” splashed across his website on Friday. It’s a perfect example of unintentionally telling the truth! “Take a Close Look at History and See the Lies by History Heretic.” Is he admitting to lying? Of course not! He just didn’t consider how his word order would read to someone who isn’t him. Oh, and for eagle-eyed readers, I’m sure you already noticed that the article is “by History Heretic,” but the linked audio presentation is under his “Truth Hunter” brand. 
Pulitzer, incidentally, in his audio diatribe, claims that children’s textbooks assert that Columbus was the first European to reach America but that some people partially acknowledge that the Vikings came before him. Apparently Pulitzer’s kids use Washington Irving’s 1828 biography of Columbus as their textbook, since that’s the last time the majority of scholars took the Columbus-first line seriously. Viking voyages have been widely accepted since the 1830s and near universally acknowledged since 1960s, after the archaeological discovery of a Viking settlement in Canada.

But more disturbing is Pulitzer’s denigration of Native Americans. He argued in his rant about why history is a lie that (a) Columbus and the Vikings were not the first Europeans to reach America because (b) pre-Columbian civilization could not have emerged from “backward people” who “walked” to America over a land bridge without even having horses. (He’s also a horse “truther” and thinks that ancient Europeans brought horses to America, which ought to be easy enough to prove if he could find a single post-Ice Age and pre-Columbian horse skeleton in the Americas.) According to Pulitzer, civilization had to diffuse from a higher (and presumably European or Near Eastern) source.
 
Pulitzer, in a confused and illogical discussion that builds toward his current obsession, appropriates ancient astronaut arguments about Puma Punku and supposedly “perfectly” machined stones that cannot be rendered as precisely using today’s technology. I would challenge him to find one of these stones that bears no sign of having been worked, or even one that has perfect right angles. The H-blocks at Puma Punku don’t even match each other, let alone a Platonic ideal of machine-milled right angles. He scoffs that “people scraping their feet along the desert were able to precisely lay out the Nazca lines.” He asks his listeners to believe that modern science denies that the builders of Stonehenge were able to observe the movements of the stars, apparently unaware that stars can be viewed with the naked eye outdoors and at night, or that large chunks of archaeology are devoted to understanding ancient astronomy.
 
He alleges that the Costa Rican stone spheres are “perfect” spheres, which they are not. Those still in condition to be measured have been found to vary 2 inches or more in their diameters depending on the measured direction. He asserts that Baalbek’s Trilithon stones are too big for ancient people to have moved, and he denies that Khufu built the Great Pyramid. “We still can’t build to that tolerance,” he shouts, apparently referring to claims made for the pyramid’s precision, none of which stand up to careful scrutiny. He asserts that the Egyptians’ “own society says it was the great ancients of ancients,” who built the pyramids, “and the Egyptians themselves said they excavated the Sphinx out of the sand.” Here he seems to be referring in a very jumbled way to modern stories, but which we know from ancient and medieval texts bear no resemblance to what Egyptians once said. Manetho, an Egyptian priest, tells us that Suphis built the Great Pyramid, being a king of the Fourth Dynasty, i.e. Khufu. Medieval people, as the Akhbar al-zaman confirms, attributed the pyramid not to mysterious “ancients” but to Surid, a late form (in all likelihood) of Suphis, and at any rate someone alleged to have lived three hundred years before Noah’s Flood, which is often claimed to have occurred around 2300 BCE. Coincidentally (and it is likely a coincidence), that’s not long before the time of Khufu according to modern estimates! Unfortunately, the ancient Church Fathers were divided on the actual year of the Flood, and estimates varied by 500 years or so. Africanus, for example, says it occurred 2,262 years after Creation, but that date is also​ disputed; he puts Creation around 5502 BCE, yielding a date of 3240 BCE for the Flood and 3540 for the Pyramids. Other medieval myths made the pyramids younger that Pulitzer would like, as would using the 4004 BCE Creation date of Bishop Ussher.
 
“Have you ever just thought about those simple things?” Pulitzer asks.
 
Well, yes, I have, more than you. And I’ve read all the history that Pulitzer blabbers about before he transitions to his current pet project, the “Roman” sword of Oak Island. He is angry that too many people refuse to “open their minds” and understand that “we know nothing about history. […] It’s just a bunch of theories.” For Pulitzer, conclusions reached by scholars are “theories,” whereas the speculation he offers is somehow “truth” because it privileges Europeans … no, wait … because it is lucrative … no, that can’t be it. He never explains why his random thoughts and amateur efforts are more worthy than conclusions drawn from published facts. Instead, he claims that people who “paid $300,000 or $400,000” for advanced degrees, who are “40 years old and still in debt,” refuse to “embrace the real history of the world” because it would jeopardize their ability to repay student loans. For a man who devoted a huge chunk of his career to obsessing over treasure and trying to sell his audience treasure hunting gear, he is awfully quick to assume everyone is as consumed with wealth as he is, or that it would somehow not be more lucrative to rewrite history and garner media attention than to devote a lifetime to the gradual accumulation of subtle data.

“We have to accept that we don’t have the answers,” Pulitzer said. “We have to accept that our history is based on theory, not fact.” He calls historiography “best guesses at best,” and he conflates facts with interpretations and all of the social sciences and humanities with one another. He is very angry at whole fields of knowledge he has never studied and does not understand. What does he suppose his claim that the Oak Island sword is “Roman” represents? The “facts” are the physical description of the sword and its properties, but its “Roman” attribution is a conclusion—in this case a wrong one—built from facts but not a fact in itself.
 
As the audio missive drew to an end, Pulitzer descended into a paranoid rant about his belief that anthropologists and archaeologists can only become famous by finding lost civilizations, and he accused them of fabricating lost civilizations in order to gain money and fame. (I guess this is also to repay student loans even though it would challenge the dogma of the conspiracy that pays them?) If I thought Pulitzer a coherent thinker, I’d have thought that he was trying to argue that Earth once had a prehistoric global monoculture (along the lines of Donnelly’s Atlantis or Graham Hancock’s revision of the same, I suppose) and that archaeologists have somehow obscured this by arbitrarily carving up the outposts of this culture into distinct but fictitious civilizations. But I don’t think he’s coherent, and I don’t think he thought through the implications of the multiple and seemingly contradictory arguments he offered, either for our understanding of history itself or for Pulitzer’s own claims, which would fail his proposed rules for turning “theories” into facts.
 
Ultimately, though, he’s not interested in “truth” if we are to judge by his outbursts and rants. Instead, he’s determined to sow doubt in order to create space for him to promote himself as a teller of truths and a guru to the ill-informed.

Aside from the obvious self-serving motives that I think it fair to attribute to Pulitzer, He either does not have the wit to understand or else is hoping no one else knows the difference between hypothesis ("a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation" or "

a proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth") and theory ("a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena")

So to say that history is based on theory is to say it is based on fact. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Freemasonry
>>> manipulate world governments<<<

LOL - here we go again - yes, Freemasonry was instrumental in establishing the NEW WORLD ORDER that followed the toppling of King and Priest, Throne and Altar.

Witness the membership of Freemasonry, that fact alone establishes that fact.

Witness France, where the Grand Orient is cognate with French Parliament.

Witness Italy, the immense role played by P2 in Italian politics.

Of course, what is written about Freemasonry and New World Order in pop culture has got nothing to do with the real thing.

Witness the existence of the Bohemian Grove, nobody anywhere can quibble with that --- if it isn't anything to do with conventional religion like Christianity, those at the top like to be involved with alternative "esoteric ramblings".

Freemasons didn't invent the conspiracy theories about their order --- there's nothing about it in their literature --- the dirt that was thrown about them being a Jewish New World Order conspiracy theory was an invention of the Roman Catholic Church that later developed into the eugenic master race theory {Arthur de Gobineau. "The Moral and Intellectual Diversity of Races") later embraced by the Third Reich.

There is not a trace of anti-Semitism in Freemasonry. Not until the formation of extreme-right wing secret societies during the 1880s that were quasi-Nationalistic and Anti-Semitic (of which Pierre Plantard was active 1937-1942).

In March 1981, police found a list of alleged members in Lucio Gelli's house in Arezzo. It contained 962 names, among which were important state officials, important politicians and a number of military officers, including the heads of the three Italian secret services.

This is from Paul Ginsborg's book, "Italy and Its Discontents: Family, Civil Society, State 1980-2001" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003).

It's unfortunate your comments are automatically rendered invalid due to your reliance on scholars and historians. I will remind everyone of your own feelings about both:

1) "Any archaeologist or historian worth their salt would own up to the fact that they are short on their databases and that their opinions and theories are only that and nothing else."
2) "There's lots of nonsense from established scholarship."
3) "But never bank on established scholarship as an absolute reference point."
4) "I arrive at my own conclusions without any need from scholarship."
5) "I'll be damned if I cower down to anyone out there just because they are so-called 'scholars'."

>>>Wolter’s elevation to the rank of Master Mason<<<

Michael Baigent became a Freemason of United Grand Lodge in the UK and became editor of one of its main journals. He never mentioned the reason, but as a Freemason he became an "insider" looking for evidence of the existence of the Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene bloodline.

Perhaps Scott Wolter has got the same thing in mind.

I have less and less desire to listen to his fact-free audio clips. I haven't listened to this one, and I probably never will.

I am fortunate to have avoided the accumulation of any debt related to my education. My motivations are not about money or protecting some kind of status quo. I love prehistory and I hate seeing it put through the wringer by a clown. That's motivation enough for me, and I'm thankful that I'm in a position where I have some latitude in picking the battles I think are important.

The "secrets" of Freemasonry are lost.
The rituals, passwords, grades of initiation, symbols, regalia, and all relevant stuff originally meant something important that only the select few knew about. Perhaps this was symbolism of the secret rituals observed by the High Priests of the Jerusalem Temple.

But Freemasonry is no longer that what it used to be and that is normal bearing in mind how the culture of Western Civilization has changed - the freethinking, skepticism and secular thinking that Freemasonry helped established destroyed Freemasonry itself.

The best example that Freemasonry is not what it used to be was the advertising and promotion on its websites of books by Robert Lomas.

Why the hell would anyone want to read books on Freemasonry by Robert Lomas when there are books like "The Early Masonic Catechisms" by Knoop, Jones and Hamer (1943) and "Early French Exposures" (1971) by Harry Carr -- that provide an authentic history of Freemasonry through original documents.

Gina-
First, I am not, nor have I ever tried to be or wanted to be a Mason. Nor do I think they know any earth-shattering secrets. I do know several Masons and they are decent people who serve their communities.
Now-,reading between the lines of internet Masonic information sites it appears that Third Degree (Master Mason) is sort of the top of “entry-level” Masonry. From there you can go on to 33 different degrees or levels of commitment. If Scott Wolter can get to Master Mason in less than one year it can’t be too difficult.

From a popular Masonic site (abridged):
Master Mason Degree – Significance of the Degree -
“At this point the candidate has symbolically, if not actually, balanced his inner natures and has shaped them into the proper relationship with the higher, more spiritual parts of himself. His physical nature has been purified and developed to a high degree. He has developed stability and a sure footing. His mental faculties have sharpened and his horizons have been expanded."
We can only hope that this applies to Mr. Wolter.

Uncle Ron,

>>>From there you can go on to 33 different degrees<<<

There are different forms of Freemasonry in different countries. When Albert Mackey first published his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry a revised and modified version of it had to be published in the UK to reflect the British Masonic system.

In the UK the highest Masonic Degree is the Holy Royal Arch that is restricted to Master Masons,

When you refer to the 33 degrees, that belongs to a different, or additional, branch of Freemasonry that is different to the three Craft Degrees. It belongs to the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and the 33rd, or highest degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is still not as important as the Holy Royal Arch Degree.

As for guide books about Freemasonry, they are okay but it must be borne in mind that the various rituals within Freemasonry are also guides and how they are applied and used varies from Lodge to Lodge, as can be seen from the various Masonic Tracing Boards that differ from each other in symbolic details.

He certainly knows nothing about pseudo-history, much less real history. His business ventures prove that he knows nothing about running a company. I doubt Graham Hancock or David Childress would give him the time of day.

As for Pulitzer's claim that the Egyptians said they had excavated the Sphinx out of the sand, he is probably confusing the original sculpting (4th Dynasty) with the 18th Dynasty inscription on the Sphinx Dream Stela which tells of how when he was a prince Thutmosis IV fell asleep in the shadow of the sphinx's head between the paws (the rest had been buried in sand by then similar though apparently not as deeply as how Napoleon found it) and had a dream. In that dream the Sphinx told Thutmosis that in return for clearing the sand from the body of the Sphinx, the Sphinx would make him king of Egypt. There were some repairs made to the Sphinx at that time as well.

Only someone who had never read anything about the Sphinx but that particular story would believe that the Egyptians had done but dig it up. There are those who believe the Sphinx was originally a lion statue that was built by a Neolithic civilization of which no other trace has ever been found (hence likely never existed) but I would hate to put ideas in the Mister Pulitzer's little head.

Naturally the prevailing theory is that the Sphinx and a Temple that was associated with it was built during the 4th Dynasty, probably during Khafre's reign.

Jason the popular tradition that the builder of the Great pyramid Khufu lived c. 300 years before the flood, assuming the flood happened c. 2300 B.C.E., is actually reasonably accurate. According to John Romer in his A History of Ancient Egypt: From the First Farmers to the Great Pyramid, p. 397, the fourth dynasty of which Khufu was the second king ruled Egypt from c. 2625 to 2500 B.C.E. In fact I am not aware of any one who dates Khufu's reign after 2300 B.C.E.

The dating in the medieval myths is much more complex than I described above. The Arab list of legendary kings of Egypt is ultimately based, in a very distorted way, on Manetho, so it has a rough correlation to reality. But it was heavily distorted by Christian chronographic traditions and Christian and Islamic dating of the Flood, which moved the kings' dates by hundreds of years and left everything a big mess. The "modern" Flood date of 2300 BCE is based on Bishop Ussher, but older estimates were 500-1000 years earlier.

"But more disturbing is Pulitzer’s denigration of Native Americans. He argued in his rant about why history is a lie that (a) Columbus and the Vikings were not the first Europeans to reach America because (b) pre-Columbian civilization could not have emerged from “backward people” who “walked” to America over a land bridge without even having horses. (He’s also a horse “truther” and thinks that ancient Europeans brought horses to America, which ought to be easy enough to prove if he could find a single post-Ice Age and pre-Columbian horse skeleton in the Americas.) According to Pulitzer, civilization had to diffuse from a higher (and presumably European or Near Eastern) source."

I am just so heartily sick of this thoroughly dull refrain from some of the pseudos that the pre-Columbian inhabitants of the New World didn't develop civilization on their own but that it was imported wholesale from the Old World. The evidence doesn't support that idea and in fact in Peru High Culture or civilization seems to go back to c. 2500 B.C.E. orc earlier at least. Also New World Agriculture is very different from the Old World stuff. So if the inhabitants of the New World could domesticate entirely new and different plants etc., developing civilization on their own seems like a no brainer.

This wouldn't be has annoying if these people confined themselves to arguing about possible Old World influences on New World cultures, because there is actually some rather interesting similarities that could in fact indicate contact. But no these pseudos almost always end up arguing civilization came as a complete package from the Old World to the New. It is annoying.

I remember reading in older issues of Ancient American stuff about Horses in the New World before Columbus. (Note I am not talking about Horses in the New World c. 10,000 B.C.E. and earlier before they became extinct in the New World.) The utter lack of evidence for said horses before Columbus, (Say the period c. 5,000 B.C.E. to c. 1500 C.E.), was hand waved away. You know a conspiracy of evil Academics, Archeologists etc.

Isn't it just so remarkable how quickly horses diffused after Europeans brought them in both North and South America and how massive and abundant is the evidence for this and yet before Columbus all those horses managed to not leave a trace.

Scott Wolter is not a Master Mason any more than Daffy Duck is a rabbit. He is lying. No way would Masons take him in as one of theirs after all the stuff he said all over TV and online. It is just another fake degree to add to his collection.

Pulitzer is also a fake and really bores most people. He has fake swords and weird theories, and apparently hates anyone other than him, and is convinced he is right about his crazy ideas.

He has also been harassing random blogger web sites and false flagging them for having a different opinion than his. At least when SW did this is was sneakier. It's a free country to speak our minds. This is not a fringe state.

Pulitzer is committing fraud and wants others to be taken down because he gets caught. Advise not watching his BS TV appearances.
